Pertaining to its requirement of physical labour, the manufacturing industry was the worst hit when the pandemic shut down the world. The supply chain itself took a hit as demand for several products fluctuated, leading to several industries either accepting their fate and some stepping up with changes that could help them stay afloat.
Digital adoption has been a viable solution to the curveballs that the pandemic has thrown at industries. Businesses that were able to think digital first and had the technology and assistance are now able to grow and scale up their operations. These enterprises are also able to solve complex problems in real-time, have greater insights, accessibility, and become agile enterprises by using AI, ML, Cloud, and other Intelligent Technologies optimally. These organizations can be a torchbearer of digital transformation and help other businesses to understand the effectiveness of these technologies.
To acknowledge these enterprises as the initiators of digital adoption who are setting a blueprint for others to follow suit, Moneycontrol and NTT DATA Business Solutions are hosting a virtual summit The Future Techshot. It’ll comprise two panel discussions comprised on CFOs and CIOs that will have rich dialogues on advanced technologies, value-driven outcomes, innovation and how to get started.
